Worktop repair for Swyre homes

Worktop repair in Swyre without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swyre and across Dorset.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swyre as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Swyre: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Swyre?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How much does worktop repair cost in Swyre?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Swyre

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swyre. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
